To express \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \) in its simplest form, we need to convert it into an improper fraction or a decimal.
1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
\[
25 \frac{1}{2} = 25 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{50}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{51}{2}
\]
2. Alternatively, as a decimal, it can also be calculated as:
\[
25 \frac{1}{2} = 25 + 0.5 = 25.5
\]
Among the given responses, the simplest form in decimal is:
**12.5**.
However, since \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \) equals \( 25.5\) (not 12.5), the answer is actually **25.5** when simply expressed as a decimal.
If you meant **25.5**, this would be the best answer, but among the options you provided, it looks like **12.5** was presented as part of possible responses in a way that could lead to confusion based on formatting.
Given the context and the way options are phrased, please clarify if exact presentations or types were mismatched to answers so we can address any remaining questions accurately!
